review 1: If one takes this for what it is - a collection of Millburn's popular essays - then we can accept the repetition found as a result of multiple years of writing. Different stories and/or thoughts sometimes require a detail found in other stories to make the blog post (or essay as Millburn calls it) a complete work. That said, it might have been more beneficial to provide a title more suiting to what the book indeed is; a collection of essays. They are well written (with the exception of a few unnecessary typos) and most importantly thought provoking. It is a satire of sorts as it does call out some of the social ills pervading our modern commodity culture. For what it's worth, I enjoyed it very much and I believe you will as well.
review 2: A collection of essay
... mores (blog posts, for the most) about a minimalist lifestyle. The author has some interesting insights -- I liked the idea of living without goals -- and some of the stuff is things you've heard before, but it's all thought-provoking and good for stimulating discussion and perhaps some lifestyle changes.Personally, I'm not so sure I'm into "radical minimalism" but I'm definitely partway down that path. Call me a mesimalist, perhaps.I'm curious how he's going to feel about some of these things in a few years and/or decades; some of it feels a little too pure and ideal to be workable in the long term. Worthy notions, all, just maybe susceptible to the interruptions and difficulties posed by everyday living. less

I'm wanting to simplify my life and this book, albeit short, was just the shot in the arm I needed.

Good read and lots to think about. Could we all use a little less in our lives?

A bit repetive but an inspiring read on hard-core minimalism.
